144. Managing the Winter Blues

If your kiddo is like most at this time of year, the last thing they’ll want is to be outside. Chances are, they’ll have their head buried deep in a phone … Wasting hours on some games console … Or just staring blankly at the TV for hours. And while they might seem perfectly content doing this, so much time spent indoors -- particularly time in front of screens -- is one of the worst things for their mood. I know, for most of us, January is dark and miserable. The buzz of the holidays feels long gone. And you’re probably not motivated to get outside much yourself. Especially if it’s wet, windy and cold. But spending time in the fresh air and nature can genuinely do wonders for your kiddo’s mental health. Not to mention yours, too! Listen on to learn more.
